With us being a good way into Season of Discovery now and unofficial sites starting to estimate a few numbers, I wanted to go over Classic as a whole and see how the game is doing players wise.
From every indication we have Season of Discovery is doing incredibly well - but just how much so?
Today I take a look at the bigger picture of why: World of Warcraft Is BACK... And Vanilla Is Leading The Way

The issue with SOD is total lack of content, all the guilds are dead, people are just raid logging, I have alts in 4 different large raiding guilds, they are active 2 evenings a week for an hour, rest of the time they are empty. SOD feels like a pretty big flop it gave players far to little content.
you will do anything for me monay. GIVE ME CRED!
Came back after almost 1.5 years off. SOD is a blast. 12 hours straight on the Lord’s Day jamming on my feral tank
i quit feral after 2 raids, mangle mangle mangle. Gets old very quick =/
same dawg@@Gavinbelson
Just to let you know, I never played wow until now, but season of discovery is noob friendly because of the lv 25 cap, less items, dungeons, skills, talents, zones to learn, makes it a lot easier to get into wow. Started playing because of Rav videos too
The Ravator binds us…
"You think you do, but you don't." Aged like fine wine..
Season of Discovery has been awesome.
for the first 2 weeks. since then its been a farm fest that will totally destroy any chance of a decent economy. Lv 22 mana pots foing for 1g30s. people paying 20-80g for a pre bis item off the ah. I bet DFT will go for gold cap in a gdkp
@@neilbecker1140 The thing is bro, these items aren't needed unless you wanna get top 100 logs. none of the items are needed to clear anything. its really not a big deal
@@chezbizo mana pots are definitely needed for casters
@@neilbecker1140 depends on the healer spec, no dps caster should need mana pots. priests wont need mana pots, rdruids wont, rpally is horrendous anyway. so no not really. only needed consumable would be maybe a FAP if the raid is low dps
Those mana pots require 165 alch to make. So in order to get them right now you must loot them. Which explains why they're expensive
SOD its the best time im having with WoW. I love the bracketed progression, we can really enjoy each block of content!
Brought me back after 13 years of having a break from WoW
my condolences man
@@raminMTLWhy?
It's really fun, the pace is chill, and it's a good way to socialize.
13 year break 😝 wouldnt want to hire you for anything hahahaha JK dont be mad
It's important to note it only shows characters that are logged. My experience is that alot of people don't log in SoD.
Yes, and far from 100% of people are raiders and parsers
Yeah, he did note that 2:41
I was thinking the same, but at the same time, some people are raiding on 10 chars already. So I think it evens out quite well
@@brel_ my thoughts exactly
But it only takes 1 person in 1 of their runs to log them
I love wrath, but what killed it for me was the player base. I came back and leveled a shammy to max right before Trial of the Crusade dropped, and found it an absolute nightmare to gear up without a guild. Practically no one was running normal heroics, and even though Heroic + was suppose to be a way to catch up to current raiding you would have people refuse to play with people who were not at least semi Nax geared because they didn't want to "waste there time." Got into 1 group in 3 hours, saw the sea of GDKPs and decided that it wasn't worth the headache.
sounds like you were just on the wrong server, not all servers are the same on wrath, windseeker for instance rarely ever has gdkp's advertised as well as room to progress w/o having to be in a guild mostly due to the new icc dungeons that get you quick gear which allows you to get into the harder dungeons and even some raids. I have multiple geared toons with majority of them doing it without a guild in the first place. I'd recommend giving windseeker a try if you are still interested in wrath, community is pretty solid there as well.
I played regularly so didn’t have this issue myself as I had a guild, but seeing all the gdkps made me depressed. Feel for you man, it’s a shame what the game became. What annoys me is people in sod trying to turn the game into that direction. I don’t get how people haven’t realized that gdkps were long run awful for the game when they became the norm rather than exception.
Unfortunately GDKPs were the only way to play Wotlk without finding a raiding guild which is harder than getting into a gdkp as a carry without connections
People tend to go on large mass servers with the streamers on it because they think more people = more fun and things to do. But those streamer servers usually attract all those min/max gimps who think this game is a job. That’s why I’ve always chosen medium pop servers since classic came out in 2019. The player base still is more than enough (Vanilla was created for 2-4k players and the “medium” populated classic or SOD servers have 10k). That is plenty and more than enough and while you still have min/max idiots it was in my experience never to the extent that people describe on streamer realms.
All of these comments spot on. Wrath Classic imo was ruined by sweatlords and GDKPs. I actually had to make my own guild and we killed Yogg 1light (which i am proud of) got full Ulduar Bis on my prot Warrior, and people started to sign off on the raids and join GDKPs as they are "easy loot" so the community who wants to progress seems to be very little now, its basically the same in Era but worse since the prices on AH are insane.... basically in order to keep up you need to do GDKPs or buy gold.... example 800g for a titans flask on my server Firemaw EU.
Still haven’t played SOD it’s just not my thing but seeing how many people are playing is always a good thing
The "phase" and the "twist" ideas in SOD is a touch of genius. I'm having a blast!!!
OP Runes dont repalce actual class Balance. beside rune idea is from private servers
@@Dualitiescool
They're okay but they're far too long.
Massive props to this channel for managing to pump out 16 mins of content to say absolutely nothing x)
I mean it as a compliment. Very impressive
Eve every single video by this guy. Glad someone else finally said it
Tbh SoD is really fun and having a chill guild has made my time more enjoyable
SoD has started a fundamental change to the social aspect of gaming. More comradery, fun, and collaboration between factions. On my server every friday night my guild and an ally guild take ~20 people to Wetlands and try to take control of the docks for a few hours. Each side is streaming and having fun, saying how great it is we are out there doing world pvp. It all seems in good spirits too. Dancing, having fun, not taking it too seriously. Even the raid we 9man and dont really req anything beyond shadow protection potions.
I would love to see your perspective from Alliance and your guild. I find the social part to be incredibly interesting.
I'll never see Ashenvale the same again. Utterly awesome.
Literally my same thoughts..
3:37 phase 2 literally peak classic wow
ulduar was the most fun raid tier out of all the 3 classic xpac raids imo.
@@brett3165after ulduar wrath became super boring. Togc was way too long and now with icc and the damage buff it feels like what’s the point in getting gear if we can just get 40% buff and beat the bosses. Plus I’m 4th up for shadowmourne on my warrior and at that point I could give a fuck about it. So games dead to me. Also no one’s pvping finding a partner is near impossible especially after the fucked the LFG and you can’t que for PvP the same way anymore. At least that’s my experience.
i 200% agree with everything you said. my guild broke up at the start of togc so i took a raiding hiatus and just pvpd. TOGC is a joke of a raid tier, and you ar correct after blizz took away the pvp LFG posting, it's near impossible to find regular partners. after clearing ICC H pre nerf, there's literally nothing pulling me back to the game, and arena vs all the shadowmournes is honestly just cancer. RIP WOTLK, was fun while it lasted..@@mikea9929
Sod is just peak win right now. I'm super pumped for 40 when hopefully they can do more class balancing and we have more tools to work with. I have 3 raiding characters now and it's not been that hard to keep up with them
Keep on pumping them videos !
I mean... a TON of Wotlk Guilds died over night when Blizzard released the "road map" and you could see Cata coming out in the Summer. The xpac was already overstaying its welcome. And for the sake of milking out everything else, they have thrown Wotlk and the future Cata playerbase under a bus... I mean... 4+ more months of ICC ? What ? In what world will any server be left standing ?
Good, let it crash. Who really wants to see Blizzard re-release EVERY single expansion again?! It should stop long before it gets to retail's current content.
Imagine releasing Cata Classic KEKW dead on arrival.
ICC filtered bad players that faced a wall, they all went to SoD to get the dopamine that they at least cleared something
@@valsione38 In reality you are probably less wrong than what it sounds like initially. The fact that they are putting Cata up so late ? Does anything but help.
Filtered 90% of the player base and only left a few sweaty no lifers still playing a dead game. Hf :)@@valsione38
The Ashenvale event meta specifically includes PVP to win the event now.. people are fighting back other faction raids during fights pretty much every time. I feel like the criticism about Ashenvale being pve only is like a month old.
Yeah exactly. It seems like it took a while but people realised that if you defend certain spots your chances of winning increase. Although I do sometimes get events where raid are just trying to run from A to B to C but it seems those are now failing more often than they win
Ashenvale was never pve only. people who had that idea in their heads are objectively speaking; idiots.
the pre-event phase literally fosters world pvp, but people like to pretend the effort going in to actually get the event itself to trigger is not part of the event.
one could argue that the event itself (kill 3 lieutenants + general) it lacking in design, there are definitely better ways to go about it, but to say it includes no pvp is downright false.
plenty a time people have gone out of their way to go defend a lieutenant to buy time in order to get a win, or defend the final general to clutch a win.
The issue with the numbers is whether it accounts for alts. lvl 25 raid makes it so easy to raid on alts as well as a main. I for instance, have 3-4 chars i raid multiple times a week so the numbers may be higher than the actual number of players
Wrath was good fun, enjoyed the launch and tried the raids, but ngl the story and theme which are excellent overshadow the fact that its just raid logging and one raid at that there is no other content to do outside of logging on once a week to clear a raid
The more I play sod the more I want to play it. It's way better than I expected it to be, and I'm shocked by how much they got right. Capping the levels at certain breakpoints and creating entire new endgames was genius. It's not perfect, mostly from a pvp perspective, but I love it.
As an era player, I've actually seen a lot of retail players come into era after trying seasonal.
I've actually been seeing about 1-2 new retail players a week!
I've usually* been a Retail player who just plays Classic in the downtime, and SoD seems like it's gonna cater to that more than ever. Very excited for the rest of the phases, and I've not stopped raiding yet.
*I skipped a bunch of SL patches to just play TBC instead.
Didn't notice it on my main, leveling them up. Now I'm leveling alts, the hunter bots are everywhere, I particularly the southern barrens is crawling with these awful hunter bots who I see often meleeing with boars, they die alot so not very efficient.
Hi Willie, thanks for the great content. I think you are MASSIVELY underestimating the player population in SOD though. As BFD is 10 man there is a huge number of pugs taking place - pugs usually mean no logs. I believe the numbers you've stated would be close to double.
That’s the way it is when new Xpac come out. We wear the gear from our nice raids until we hit a new level cap, exchanging maybe a slot or 3 and then that’s it.
Wait…who only upgrades 1-3 gear slots when a new xpac comes out??
@@Burlehmangus the blue you get from a dungeon quest typically doesn’t replace your Naxx 40, Sunwell, or ICC gear. I’m not saying you just never replace your gear lol, just while leveling
Season of discovery was honestly a stroke of genius. It didn’t come easy, though. Gotta drag blizzard kicking and screaming, but once we get them to where they need to be, they absolutely knock it out of the park. Classic, hardcore, and now SOD. It’s been such a blast, and I feel like we’re far from the end of it.
I love wrath but have been on Sod as well haha .. awesome vid keep up the good work!
I can hear your soul leaving your body while reading the script for the ad
Raiding isnt sweaty, PvP is quick and bursty, a lot of new ways to play for most classes..yeah, I wonder why SoD is a hit.
If by quick and bursty you mean getting wiped quick and farmed by premades on gy then yeah
@@wrrrwrrr872go back to retail then noob
@@alexunitedstand2210pre-made virgin
@@wrrrwrrr872what’s stopping you to join a guild or form a premade in a massive MULTIPLAYER game?
@@waldyeti3744 it's boring, most premades give up after first cap. Right now 80% of BG players are PVE rep grinders who want to Min max pvp out of the game
Season of Discovery is fun. Fast & Easy 10 player raids are the best.
25 Gnomerang wouldve been awesome but IT will be a 10 Man
10 man is the optimal size. 20+ and it cuts out so many people.
@@adamnagel7436 no it doesn't. that's your subjective opinion. people have never had trouble filling raids even with 40 people. the only problem with 40 man raids is player attendance consistency and even that is only a small bump on the road.
Playin with my 2 younger brothers right now in sod ,I didn’t manage to play classic till this , and I’ve got to say this is the best mmorpg experience I’ve had so far
This was a great video man
SOD was a blast. Quit end of last year since I was travelling for a full month but dam it was fun. Would love to get back into it next phase but I'm afraid it will suck up too much of my time with a dog and a lady at home.
WotLK had run its course with me, personally, within the first week when I tried getting into a dungeon group. Too many elitists demanding ridiculous gs for such an easy dungeon really put a sour taste in my mouth, that I couldnt get out. I know that there are plenty of them in SoD too but I haven't had enough of a problem getting into BFD for it to ruin anything for me yet.
lfd i didn't have that issue, if i get kicked oh well, you can run normal, gear up the ICC dungeons on normal aren't hard drop nice stuff, most heroics are very easy except ICC ones have gear check. To bad you had that experience, it happens do hope you come back and try again, maybe find nice guild to help you gear.
Well. If you suck you suck.... lol. Don't call them elitist. They just don't want trash like u
Yep, I just tried to get into an ICC just for the fun of it, it was a shitshow, 80% gdkp asking for logs, the rest clown fiestas
Thats pretty much the authentic experience tho. People asking super high gs for content they already overgeared
And this comment right here is why the average player base on SoD is so utterly atrocious. Gonna be a rude awakening at 60.
Having played my fair share in classic, it barely felt like a reason to return. Went for a nostalgic tour on a NE and human to 15 before realizing I had way too many other games to play than rehashing old content spiced with runes and remade dungeons/pvp.
Honestly, besides Ashenvale being so buggy it has been a good event on my server. Yah first couple weeks it was a race and over instantly, but after that we started to see people playing D and not just rushing it. It brings a bunch of people to the zone and makes for a good time. Nothing like wiping the other faction and going on to the win. A lot of coordination getting balanced groups at each spawn / to play D.
SOD really is incredibly well done. Of course there are some glitches in Ashenvale, but overall great gameplay.
anytime of day (or night) ashenvale feels alive
Sadly history keeps repeating itself. The forums are already filled with posts about: Premade battlegrounds ruining it for casuals, flyhacking bots blasting inflation, worldbuff meta required or you're benched. 500g+ BiS items at 25.. Boosting.. GDKP.. Blizzard does nothing but farm money from these things, which is sad. I wish they cared to make a good game without creating toxic metas 24/7. Oh and yeah, you don't get banned for buying gold...
7:26 you say that the total cap for a server in 2004 was 4,000. this is vastly wrong and its a number you see people throw out a LOT there was less than 250 servers in 2006 when TBC was launched and the total number of players subscribed to WoW was 10,000,000. if the servers were all capped at 4,000 then you would have needed 2,500 servers instead of the 250 we had. the truth is the concurrent number of players on a server at the same time was likely 4,000 but the total number of active players with characters on each server was likely closer to 40,000.
I play both Retail and SOD. Both games feel completely different and i like that.
SoD is so weird. My classic guild split right down the middle, half of us staying behind to farm ICC content level up alts and do ruby sanctum, the rest left for SoD day and didn't come back. I levelled to 25 in SoD, did BFD and some ashenvale in the first two weeks never looked back... felt like a half baked vanilla to me, but people love it. Clearly its a big win for blizzard though, nominal dev team supporting hundreds of thousands of sustained subscriptions on 20 year old content.
ooooo I love the UI you have which shows the characters in a faded way on the background of the health bar can you share details ?
I've been a filthy casual with SoD but my buddies are running 3-4 toons each raid lockout. They also need to enforce faction balance on PvE realms, Wild Growth(US) seems to be getting worse.
SoD at the current cap doesn't require all the pre-raid BiS gear collecting, dungeons, keys, etc. like normal level cap raiding. But is SoD bringing in "new" players or did it just steal players from the other Classic realms?
if SoD wasn't out , I might be playing wotlk still. but my main "finished the game". all my goals are met, no progress to be made unless playing a game mode I don't really enjoy / need to coordinate with 9-19 other players to even engage in. I'd argue I'd be playing at a maybe 33% chance. In vanilla classic, I made my own goals with crafting epic BS sword tied to reputation of dark iron + I could grind DM:E for the book, arcanite and gold. nothing like that exists in Wotlk, everything is tightly designed you can't really solo stuff AND get progress done on your character.
I've always wondered why they didn't do faction caps before. Wonder if it was a technical problem
I think they were also cautious about what the play base wants but decided to do it this time. I'm preety sure they could have done it in 2019 if they wanted to
thankfully none of my guilds in wrath died since we have icc hm on farm, we all leveled characters on SoD but we got bored of the content super quick (hopefully that changes next season), I guess competitive players will continue to raid log as always on both or just wrath until cata drops.
Loving SOD man
I hope we will get a rerun of the original trilogy again, in the future. Could possibly be our SoD characters. But then we have the question of, how will the runes for abilities we naturally learn change? But thats quite far out in the future still :)
Im looking to get into sod but all my friends play on a faction locked realm and i havent been able to make a character yet 😅
Warlock seems to be the least played on both my servers! Not sure if that is the case or if it's coz I'm always looking out for them since you hyped them up pre release! Lol, more fear breakers are coming next phase so I will once again not be starting one.... and enjoying my warrior. Really bummed about warrior popularity right now tho, and worry about the future. We will undutably be nerfed hard unless they do something about caster scaling in end game during phases.
To keep the raids around 45min is perfect tbh. I as a family man who occasionally have time for an hour of gameplay it fits me perfect.
really sucks for anyone looking for a challenge though... sure its nice for you boomers with 8 wives, 19 children, 4 jobs and a mortgage to worry about, but those of us who enjoy spending perhaps a whole night in a raid playing with our mates, it really sucks that the raid is done in sub 30 minutes.
when someone says "raid night" usually what most people picture in their head is 40 people standing around in MC waiting for Dave to come back from the toilet so we can do our 4th attempt on Executus after slogging through the other bosses for 1-2 hours.
BFD raid is nothing but a glorified dungeon.
2 months,5 characters peaked with good gear,2 factions and i dont know what to main yet😢
I'd like them to slowly add later expansion. Like watch year or something like that. I started on TBC love to do it again. Similar to current SoD
I played wrath every day since release, but once SOD came out I only log onto wotlk once a week to raid.
Loving sod, firat time in ages i ha e multiple alts, playing with a proper guild that is actually social rather than just raid logging. Always people for groups, instances and raids as well as just open world nonsense. Great times.
Having a great time and I haven’t played since Shadowlands
I stopped playing in the middle of TBC, did the first phase of Wrath, and starting playing SoD when I came out. I can tell a lot of Wrath people came to SoD because so many people are asking me for my Gear Score! 😂
I think that poll favors retail players. Id bet lots of classic players don’t follow the World of Warcraft channel because they identify it as retail, which is fair. That makes it even crazier that classic still got more votes overall
Haven't played retail since the end of wrath in 2010. But isn't Mythic+ also raid? But on harder difficulty? Or is that completely different content?
Mythic + is the dungeon system. The mobs and bosses in each dungeon for the season scale infinitely. Every level (also known as keystone level) increases boss and mob health and damage done.
Mythic is the highest difficult of the Raid. (LFR,Normal,Heroic,Mythic)
Yea mythic+ is very similar to what Greater rifts are in diablo
Its like a 'heroic dungeon+' system to put it simply, with increasing difficulty lvls and such
SoD has been 10/10 so far. Very impressed with the small amount of dedicated devs that is has. This should be a huge eye opener for Blizzard.
Thanks for great video!
Just about the WotLK players drop off - those 2 lowest resets were Christmas, so it visually looks worse than it is and the last slight bump up might be Ruby Sanctum release. Still I'm sure wotlk is now going to just drop players as the expansion is done.
My server the horde is slowly dying really sucks after putting in so much work into a character.
Been playing since 2004. I'm absolutely loving SoD! Playing way too much lol
SOD took wrath out tbh my server is dead until like 5 ST nothing happening during the day anymore kinda sucks but i get it. hopefully server mergers for cata?
Once my old guild got HLK they hung it up. Probably similar to many people. It's either off season or not going into Cata. Not many value Ruby Sanctum as content.
All Wrath characters are moving on to Cataclysm this year, unless enough people let Blizzard know that they want an era server. I was just in Wrath today and there are still a fair amount of people in it, but definitely Season of Discovery is hotter right now. Excellent videos, thumbs up!
Yeah, some servers have started to die but others are still highly populated luckily in wotlk so i'm still mainly playing wrath. Got a level 25 char in SoD but then stopped playing after that as I was getting bored compared to wrath raiding/arena content. How about you? :)
Pagle died as soon as SoD came out
@@OrionStarzz My guild did ICC 25m HC and Ruby Sanctum 25m HC (first kill) in less than four hours. WoTLK is dead and on farm. Half a year of this is not worthy of a subscription. They need to do something better with SoD or I'll play something else. No one likes doing dead content forever.
@@icebox1954 true, I do have multiple 80's so still a few items here and there to get in raiding for but mostly BIS, mainly staying for arena now to be fair ^^
I love everything about SOD, except, i wish they had called it Classic+ (like we all said it should be called lol)
If Microsoft was smart, they would hire a massive team and go all in on Classic + while maintaining the principles Vanilla was built upon.
YOOO Call of DRAGONS IS THE GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME. I literally came to this video to learn about Call of Dragons!
SOD is what classic should have been from the start, for me anyway.
Working specs, forced faction balance for pvp realms and new content! (well, sorta) - it is great!
Me personally I have hit my classic WoW wall. I just can't do 1-60 again
When I make new character I try to do quests that I've never done/ forgot about. It works for me
so you force yourself to play off parts of the game so that you can still get the smallest bit of enjoyment out of this game is sad. you are a cow that blizzard is milking clean with this SoD bullshit. Tell me what has wow added to your life other than making you more of a fat loser?@@wrrrwrrr872
Lock balance functions was one of the best decisions I said so many times.
Phases take too long, I quit WotLK before phase 2 even began because it took so long. My Paladin tank was full BIS for both AoE gold farming and raiding, but there was nothing left to do between p1 and 2
That's good tho, you can play the game, get bis and play something else until new phase is released
I would absolutely hate playing wow 356 days a year
Welcome to wrath
Try out another character then, Warlocks are fun. You can level it up in 3-4 days. Are you exalted with Silverwind sentinels ? That takes a bit of time and WSG grind
As soon as cata classic was announced I quit Wrath. It just felt like their was no point without a permanent wrath server. There are so many quests in the early zones that did not get finished until Wrath or BC that will be no longer accessible again. Just as an example, OG Mudsprocket will just not exist in ANY version of wow anymore.
Blizzard needs to allow custom realms. No doubt that would keep Classic alive and very healthy forever.
These population stats based on logs are not a great indicator for this version of the game. As an alt-oholic, SoD has been absolutely devouring my (free) time. With only lvl 25 cap, I did BFD with 5 characters so far. I imagine there are more people like me with multiple characters, so I'm guessing the average is at about 2 characters per account who raided, at least, which would skew the stats for how many people are actually playing. But it sure feels like a lot of people. The big servers are active 24/7.
Hi Will!
I think the franchise is in a good place.
It really is. I'm a retail player and I don't really care for playing SoD, but I've had a blast watching it. And Retail is getting better again too. Good times.
Blizzard has done an amazing job with SoD. Great design choices made all around, they have a long road to redemption but this is a fantastic start.
WillE do you have a link to ur ELVUI Profile I can import?
world pvp is really nice too this time around
Im glad people are enjoying classic. I tried it and it’s not for me. But still I want wow to be good and for folks to enjoy
They should rename it to Season of Fun, because that's literally what it is. I haven't enjoyed WoW so much since actual Vanilla.
Cata makes 10man raiding viable. Which is good because our guild will probably only have 10 people left in it when cata comes out 😂
I'm loving SoD, female troll Priest here lullllll. They knocked it out of the park so far, and I can't wait to see what's in store.
I never been so early, love the content hope the best for your 2024
Thanks
Your tooltip display being over your dps meter irks me so much 😂
How have they kept the s2 runes so quiet?
Im still loving wrath, ive got a great grouo of people that i play with. I dodnt think k would but im actually looking forward to cata. Its hard with a young family to play wrath and sod, with having limited time ive had to pick one and being more developed in wrath that was my choice.
personally, i didn't quit playing wrath because the raids were too hard, i quit because i fucking hate the player base
I was playing the shit out of hardcore and had a blast, but then SoD came out and pretty much killed it, so now I'm back to just raidlogging in wrath and doing other things.
I think wotlk has sort of been taken over by the sweaty players as well, who force most casuals not to take part in things. Tanks that run through dungeons as fast as possible, heavy critics in random DF PUGs looking through logs to confirm the amount of interrupts everyone is doing, demanding crazy GS's to take part in litetally anything...whilst SOD has been a lot more casual friendly and generally just a little less toxic. Still happens (saw someone demanding a GS for DM the other day) but its just less so. No-one wants to come home from work, log on to play a game and chill only to get yelled at by some random a**hole that takes this way to seriously and has been logged on for the last 14 hours. If there is another, less toxic and less hostile option, people will just naturally float towards that one. I know I did.
LFM BFD GDKP HAVE 7/7 EXP, WB, CONSUMES, GS UNDER 400 = BLACKLIST, NEED WARR WITH EPIC SWORD, HUNTER WITH EPIC CROSSBOW, PRIEST WITH EPIC STAFF, SUB 15 MINUTES RUN. CHECKING LOGS.
@@ZugzugZugzugson that may be a lot of raids in SoD but its every, single raid and even every single dungeon on WoTLK. SoD is the path of least toxic resistance. Though definately still there.
wow, I always thought my realm (lava lash) was a very full and fun server...... then i lookk at crusader strike lmfao
Maybe they can dedicate some more resources to it now?
glad its success, but not sure this will translate to classic+ can't see blizzard investing into it, it cost money a lot of it, most the resources is towards new expansions something new they never done saga system, can't wait especially return main warcraft lore creator is back
For all of Blizzard’s numerous faults I really have to give them their flowers with Classic all the way to SoD. The past 5 years have been some of the most fun I’ve had playing WoW in the 17 years I’ve been playing it in some form.
